Abstract
An electric cart with one or more lightweight, quick-change batteries or battery packs mounted on the cart frame. The cart body has battery pack access openings to provide easy access to remove and replace battery packs during racing operations. The batteries are easily removed and replaced so that a particular cart can be “refueled” in a matter of seconds. The batteries being removed are placed on a charger, and can be placed back into service relatively quickly. Lithium Ion batteries may be used for the battery packs. The electric cart also may include electrically-adjustable pedals and seats.
